ROOT CANAL TREATMENT
Doctors resort to root canal treatment when
caries has passed into the next stage of its development – pulpitis – an inflammatory process of the neurovascular bundle (pulp) of the tooth. As a rule, it is accompanied by pain radiating to the ear, the back of the head or the temple, depending on the location of the tooth.
One of the functions of the pulp is to prevent infections from entering the periodontium, and it also ensures the vital activity of the dental tissues due to the blood vessels located in it.
Therefore, the development of pulpitis is directly related to caries, as microbes penetrate into the pulp from the carious cavity.
If you do not treat pulpitis and allow it to fester, periodontitis will set in, when the pulp completely loses its protective functions. The inflammation reaches the tissues surrounding the tooth.
The main symptoms of periodontitis are sharp pain near the tooth, which is aggravated by touching it, .There may also be an increase in the temperature of the lips and cheeks, a swelling of the gums, or increased tooth mobility. Sometimes, a canal forms on the gums to allow an outflow from the site of inflammation – a fistula.
ROOT CANAL REQUIRES HIGH-QUALITY PAIN RELIEF AND A MICROSCOPE.
We use the latest generation of anesthetics and a computer anesthesia system, which allows us to make the process of injecting anesthetic comfortable and anesthetize only the necessary area.
The face and tongue remain sensitive in contrast to the conventional injection method.
What is a microscope used for during root canal treatment?
- it is easier to find canals with magnification, because they are sometimes thinner than a hair;
- to reveal the branching of root canals;
- notice all the bends and ledges in the canals;
- go through the canals to the end;
- get rid of all remnants of infected tissue;
- seal them hermetically.
- And, of course, to remove any pieces of instruments forgotten during previous visits to the dentist.
